  • Wheel bolts have been “lightened”

    Was just a week on the road with my moose in Austria. After a mountain tour I had violent noises at the VA. thought first, crap…a record… At the check it turned out that probably someone loosened all 10 wheel bolts!! Was a shock for the four of us…. Someone an idea, how to prevent this meaningfully? Sure, before each ride control….Are these special wheel bolts, the shooters rather before theft…or? Best regards Bird

  • Inexplicable cooling water loss Volvo V70 Built 10/98 144 HP

    Hello My Volvo loses water and I don’t know where. If it runs half an hour to build up pressure in the system and I put it out then the water disappears in the balance tank. I open the lid again later it rises again to the old brand. The same of course also in daily driving operation. Only about the third time I have to flip back a liter or more. Below everything is dry cooler is 4 weeks old and as I said in the stand is after half enough pressure i m system to see something under the car. But there’s nothing there. There’s no white smoke in the back. Only now I noticed a little gray slime on the oil measuring rod. Car has just over 300,000 km down. Can someone help me there? Thank you Guido

  • Rest current at 850, what am I doing wrong?

    Hi there, I’ve had a 850er for about 10 months, which was standing longer before and the battery was empty (and very old). Besides some other things I changed the old battery for a new 70 Ah battery, so I hoped to have some rest with it. However, unfortunately after a week the battery sucked completely empty, if I didn’t drive in between. So I wanted to measure the rest current and find out about pulling fuses where the problem lies. I For example, ch has retrofitted a Volvo radio receiver for the ZV and maybe it’s because of it? But unfortunately I don’t succeed in measuring it. I’ve tried to measure it with different multimeters but it doesn’t do anything. The multimeter shows no consumption, although I put it on amperes and clamp it between a pole. With a “proof photo”. Any min. consumption should be there? The alternator charges (13.8 volts standing), battery voltage 12.2 volts after two days Sta What am I doing wrong? Thank you and greeting, Finke

  • Navi fixed installation VDO Dayton

    On please by weflydus in my introduction Fred Quote: Original written by weflydus here times the first pictures… Hardware became a VDO Dayton MS5000, which I bought quite cheaply in the large auction house. The calculation (DIN size) under the trunk ambush flap next to the breakdown triangle was stowed. Cable to the monitor was on the driver side next to the cable channel forward, under the footroom cover driver side, at the ventilation channel of the medium nozzles up to the middle speaker (be The power supply incl. return signal comes from the compact plug for the towing device (also not installed) in the trunk. Tacho signal was not necessary, so many descents in tunnels we did not have from the original middle speaker cover the grid was removed, the monitor holder was attached and then covered with light synthetic leather, suitable for the seats.

Thanks again to all who provided me with information about the moose.

  • Bi-fuel on a mountain trip – how does it behave?

    Hello to the small CNG community! I have been asked how the 140 hp of the Bi-fuel is driving in mountainous areas. Since I only have experience from the middle mountains, they want to pass this on to the round at this point. (Compare with D-, T- or R-models please in other Freds! , 140 hp-petrols are allowed against it) I myself am quite happy to switch and turn over the 5,000 mark to Accelerate. My consumption does not increase by more than 8 ,2 kg/100km! – Do you switch the machine with a gas pedal at the end stop at the lower speeds? – At what speeds do you drive in normal operation? – Do you switch to petrol to overtake the mountain to get the last remaining torque from the engine? – What are your consumption values for mountain rides? Greetings, Stefan (always sprays all the washing water for weight reduction before mountain rides and extinguishes the light during the day to relieve the generator)

  • Suddenly XC90 battery empty???

    Hello, after the previous shutdown our XC90 was suddenly the battery empty yesterday morning. I was of course not there again (mission trip) and so I had to explain to my OHL first by telephone, that we are in the ADAC and I put a ADAC card into the wallet a long time ago (didn’t even notice it). Fortunately there is a phone number on it which she then called. ADAC came and found empty battery. Then she charged 10 min. with his. Then h at my OHL the car ran a little 30 min in the stand and then dared not to drive any more. After that she tried to start again, which also worked perfectly. This evening I came back and had to shop urgently, which my OHL did not dare for two days. XC90 jumped perfectly, even after the purchase. My question now: why is suddenly the battery empty with a new car? With Volvo everything goes off! Radio, lights off, SH was My OHL isn’t much of a help in the cause research either 🙁 Have you ever had such a thing before? Ciao, XC90newbie.

  • Just change the wiper water pump for the rear window.

    With mine was the wiper water pump for the rear window without function. This sits under the wiper water tank. Without lifting platform that is lying on the back quite fidgety. Especially because with me almost everything was jammed. The pump in the holder. The plug on the pump. And lastly the contacts of the plug on those of the pump. These are of course torn off from the cable. An absolute gau. After the removal the fault was found quickly. The pump is probably over the years leaking and the rotor stuck to the stator of the engine. I noticed further, the residual water in the wiping water tank was somehow thick liquid and slimy. Can this be related to the cleaning concentrate?

  • Thinking aid: End up leasing or buying out of leasing?

    I made an offer to buy my V70 after 18 months out of the lease. I played with the idea of selling it and buying a smaller used car – but the demand is not overwhelming (diesel). It is financially but not necessary and I am extremely satisfied with the V70. If I convert the financing of the money for the purchase at monthly rates with interest 3%, I get exactly the same monthly costs as if I were still 30 months So financially, it’s as if it’s gone. No one knows how the used car prices for diesel are in 4 years. Even worse than they can hardly be at the moment, you would like to think. But who knows. Is it more important to be able to put the car on the yard for the dealer after 4 years, to knock his hands off and go? That would mean to read on. Or is it more important to be flexible and to be able to sell if necessary?

  • Revolving front tyres normal with the all-wheeler?

    Hello all, I need your advice about the four-wheel drive from my recently bought 3.2 XC70. I drove up to the forest with my dog this morning. I went then as always right on the grass strip. I wanted to try if the four-wheel drive works. And to my scare I had to find out that the wheels turned off at the front left. So I don’t know about my old 03 XC70. Please take a look at the photos, I don’t know now if this is normal or o b the four wheel is defective. I had this problem with the old XC at the time and there was at 275 Tkm the gearing of the sleeve rotated round. That’s why I would like to have the opinions of the professionals. Thank you! Gruss, Michael

  • Cheap PDC sensors

    low-cost PDC sensors At prices around 90€ for a PDC sensor for v70 My2006 (30765108) I had little desire to repair my parking help so far. In addition, paint again and install. That’s why I’m now testing an offer from eBay for 32€ inclusive shipping. The offer can be found if you are looking for “Parking Sensor Volvo” and article location “Europe” – which prevents customs costs. The handling takes place via Paypal. The special thing: It is allegedly the original of Valeo OEM. The seller probably sits in England while the item is being shipped from Riga. Particularly comfortable is the offer to have the sensors painted in any original color for 10 British pounds = 12€.
